Good luck on your project Texan and thanks to all who have responded so far. This is a nice site for locating older parts Texan, you may want to make note of it.

Re: Tractor rebuild (more new pics)

Thanks for the encouraging words people. We split it apart this weekend and replaced the rear seals. Got the starter cleaned up and painted and got some great help wrenching it back together. Hope to get a lot of assembly done over this next weekend.
The clutch looked pretty worn but still has a few miles left on it so we put the same one back.

Ha! Ha!

PB, who would have thunk that tractor was gonna be a global internet star?

Just watch, it's gonna be fussy... It'll only start and work when it wants to!

Does it have a name yet?
